Senior Master Cao had successfully crafted and fired the Duo Zhi works, and this is Duo Zhi with its Poem inscription and Plum Blossoms engraving.
清香未减,风流不在人知
“清香未减”:形容是梅花的清香没有减少。这里的“清香”指的是高洁的品质。
“风流不在人知”:指的是人的高洁品质 才华不在乎是不是有别人知道。
To say that we are very excited for its birth, is an understatement. This ZiSha work has too much going for it behind the scenes. The years of careful limited use through the years, the rarity and preciousness of it, our Aunt Cao Lan Fang being the designated Artist to work on our family's rare Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao all these years, and its remaining few bricks. She is most familiar with this clay, much more so than even our Uncle Grand Master Cao Ya Lin, Grand Master Cao Yan Ping, and Premier Master and Senior Master Cao An Xiang. Our Family tasks her to perform all the Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao works at designated two to six year intervals for our patrons in China.
We welcome Mr Yan, to receive this.
Congratulations, Mr Yan, this is yours and your family to keep for generations.
Gratitude to you, from the Cao Familiy.
What an incredible piece of art! The lid-pot interface is the tighest I have ever seen, and holding, admiring, and using this teapot has been the utmost joy. Photos also don’t do this teapot justice!
I love this custom made BenShan LuNi teapot that was handcrafted by the Artist Zhang, Ke. I owe many BenShan LuNi clay teapots, this is by far one of the best BenShan LuNi I’ve ever seen. The craft skills are beatable. I highly recommend this artist.
First time purchasing a bigger teapot. This one is for my daily morning brew of tea. Very thick and robust. The lid also stays in place when pouring making it easy to use without thinking it might fall and break.
I’m becoming pleasantly acquainted with my new fang gu pot. It is a nice handmade pot and I’m looking forward to adding another to my collection in the near future.
I am delighted by this adorable pot. Communication with Ian has been excellent, shipping was fast and efficient.
At first, I was afraid of the 200 ml volume would make the piece too large or impractical to use other than as a mere statement piece, but the craftsmanship is so refined and well thought that I hardly notice the size anymore. It is very easy to use, and I now find the pot most adorable and not in the least intimidating.
Clay is superb, with a deep presence and a tactile feel but the precise design and high firing almost give the impression of holding a piece made of metal, both light and dense.
The clay carving is mesmerizing and I never get tired to gaze at it with all its minute details and subtle colours.
The brews I get are rich and thick ; the pot works very well with all kinds of tea, but even more convincingly with young sheng pu'erh.
Congratulation to master Li for her magnificent work and many thanks for providing us with the privilege of using such a great pot !
